Beyond the frame

Funnel weavers construct dense sheet webs that lead into a silk-lined funnel where the spider remains hidden. Rather than actively hunting, they wait for vibrations travelling through the web before rushing out to seize trapped prey. This ambush strategy allows them to hunt efficiently while staying protected.
